Big Omaha 2012 attendees get pumped for the conference.
Sprint is among the first local companies to support Silicon Prairie News’ full-time expansion to Kansas City in 2012, so we were very excited when they decided to sponsor our inaugural Big Kansas City event. Initially, their commitment was to be the named sponsor of our Middle Party for attendees, which is tonight, and we were very excited to have their continued support.
However, last week an issue crept up that had the potential to kill any technology conference: the internet connection fell through. Our friends at Sprint jumped in immediately and went to work to help us find a solution (not an easy task in a big, metal airplane hangar).
Thanks to our sponsor
We can’t thank Sprint enough for their sponsorship and support of this event. Several members of Sprint’s team, including their CEO Dan Hesse (who provided welcoming remarks this morning), are participating in Big Kansas City so give them a shout out and a high five when you see them and thank them for saving the day.
